Class 3 Week 7 - Stewie's Unstartable Lawn Mower(?) Refining

This is probably the first time I turn in my assignment and update my blog before 12am :)
However, I wouldn't call it done and there are still many thing I can keep refining, but my eye are pretty sore and I'm sure I'll be able to get a lot of useful feedback so I can target those area once I hear back from my mentor and fellow classmates, and for those who check out my blog of course :)

  1. This shot is super nice, Yu-Ting! Congratulations on all your hardwork! The attitudes read super clearly and the body mechanics are all there. Way to go!

  2. I like how the hat is pulled off as the mower goes by him! He really has a great expression when he looks up in surprise. I am really looking forward to seeing how your facial animations are going to be (you need to resurrect Sporkins)!

  3. I think the animation looks great, but at first, I didn't realize he was intentionally kicking the lawn mower.


    Things I would suggest would be:

    On his approach, start off the speed it currently is, but as he approaches the lawnmower, speed up slightly (like field goal, kick off kicks)

    On his foot draw back, I would hold the pose for a few more frames of anticipation and so the viewer can take in the intent and possibly maliciousness of the kick, also allows for a nice curve to be put in the pose with the back arched and the leg held back.

    Also, on a completely stylistic, opinion point, I think it would be cool, if when he was making his slow approach he would have more arch in his back )hunched forward and his arms curved in, kinda like a troll or a neanderthal to accentuate his rage, so he has more of a lumber.
